Description

Dimensions - Length 14m, Width 10m.
Plan Form - RECTANGULAR
Description in 1755 (B1).
MANOR HOUSE - WAS A LARGE BUILDING - HAS BEEN (MUCH) 'PULLED DOWN.' PLAIN STONE BUILDING USED AS A FARMHOUSE (1927)(B2).
PRESENT MANOR FARM BASICALLY C17-18, RESTORED & MUCH ALTERED 1974 - ON SITE OF FORMER MANOR HOUSE OF GREAT LECKHAMSTEAD (B6).
NGR TO 'MANOR FARM' (B5).
Probably the site of the primary manor of Leckhampstead, recorded at Domesday. The building lies on the S side of the River Leck, with a bridge to the west end of Church End. Outbuildings lie on the E side of the approach. The present building is late 18th or early 19th century in appearance. The 17th century house on the site may have been a property of the Tyrells, and thus may account the placing of a Civil War battery on the hill behind (B7).
